About Manish Jodhani

Technology executive with a track record of driving measurable business value — ~$50M annually in EBITDA from AI, analytics, and digital transformation, a $3B acquisition integrated on schedule with zero operational disruption, and zero cybersecurity incidents across globally distributed industrial environments. My experience spans 20+ years across energy, industrial, and regulated industries — including standalone, acquisition-driven environments where I\'ve built and scaled technology organizations with full P&L accountability, lean teams, and disciplined capital allocation. I operate as a player-coach: setting strategy at the board level, presenting cyber risk posture and technology strategy to Audit and Finance committees, and engaging directly with field operations when execution requires it. → AI & Advanced Analytics — Built and deployed AI/ML and GenAI platforms generating $45M+ in annual EBITDA and savings across trading, logistics, and asset optimization. Focused on applied AI tied directly to measurable business outcomes. → M&A Technology Integration — Established and led the full IT organization for a $3B midstream acquisition: 200+ systems, employees, Oracle-to-SAP ERP transformation, SCADA and field integration — delivered on schedule with a lean team and disciplined capital allocation. → Cybersecurity & OT Resilience — Built OT cybersecurity and SCADA programs across critical infrastructure from scratch, achieving TSA compliance, completing 15+ regulatory and operational audits, and maintaining zero incidents across refineries, pipelines, and terminals. → Transformation & Operations — Delivered large-scale cloud migration, ERP simplification, and architecture modernization driving 99.98% uptime and improved operating efficiency. I thrive in environments where technology is expected to create value, not just keep the lights on. Where the mandate is to balance AI-driven innovation with operational excellence, strengthen cybersecurity posture, and deliver measurable results with disciplined resources.
